Updated:2014/12/3 09:48

Tencent Tech has learnt from China Tower CO., LTD that 28 of the national 31 branches have been officially put into operation, only except Beijing, Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces. This means that the Tower Company will gradually take over relevant business from the three major operators and begin to undertake the construction of towers.

According to informed sources, the three major operators will no longer build new towers from 2015, which will be undertaken by the Tower Company in full authority, it will build over 1 million towers to meet their needs for 4G infrastructure in the first two years. At present, some branches have begun to undertake construction work of towers in local regions.

According to Tencent Tech, the construction of towers in the three major operators are carried out by the third party outsource companies before the establishment of the Tower Company. The Tower Company will undertake the sharing parts of the three major operators in the future, namely the base station antenna bearing platforms and equipment power environments, but the base station board cards and antennas are still built by the operators, that’s to say that the Tower Company will also undertake the construction of base stations is not true.

With the start of formal operation, the inventory assessment of its related asset has been started recently. According to the plan, the Tower Company will complete the taking over of more than CNY 100 billion existing tower assets of the three major operators in one year.

So far, the total number of base stations in China has exceeded 3.3 million, and the scale of base station locations is very large, whether the Tower Company will realize the efficient sharing of base station resources of the three major operators and achieve the goal of greatly reducing investment cost in base station construction in a limited time is a problem that it faces.

At present, employees of the Tower Company are nearly 10,000, with about 100 in the headquarters in Beijing.
